Hello, I have seen this group but have never participated.. Hi.. I have a Kenmore Elite 19010 Ergo 3 Embroidery Machine. I have had it for six or seven years. I am limited by the 4" by 4" hoop. Does anyone know if there is a larger hoop available for this machine?

I believe "Hoop-It-All" has some larger hoops that may fit your machine. Remember that your machine will only do a 4 x 4 design so any larger designs would need to be split. Janome hoops also may fit your machine since Janome makes the Kenmore line of machines. Hope this helps & welcome to the group.Marty

Welcome from me too! I had an older embroidery machine that was limited to a 4x4 design size, so when I bought my new machine I made sure I got as large a design area as I could afford so I could do the bigger designs, sure is nice not having to try splitting designs!

Thank you Laura and Marty. I have pretty much mastered the splitting but it certainly is time consuming. I am trying to convince my significant other to help me in investing for a newer machine. We went to a Janome dealer and learned that they have a newer machine but we are looking at a Viking Diamond. It should be a significant step forward from my trusty Elite 19010. I wonder how I might be able to sell the Elite. Do you all have experience with that? Thanks

Janome hoops will indeed fit this machine (I know because I have one) There is also a yahoo group for this sewing machine that is really great. Very active member roster. Lots of information, tutorials, manuals etc. I strongly recommend it. The max size on our machine is actually like 5 x 4. I have the original large round hoop, but I purchased a janome rectangle f hoop because it uses less stabilizer. Hope to see you in Yahoo group.
